Hello! I am facing problem with Text Dot visibility when it is intersecting GH previewed object. For normal Rhino geometry, Text dots are always visible without any issues [image] However, when I create Grasshopper preview of active objects (Rhino geo is hidden in that case), text dots can not…

Guys i’m not an expert in python as much as i wish to. I’m trying to create text dots for a list of points and texts with @martinborst1 script, but I’m kinda lost how to solve it. Do anybody has an answer for this problem? [image] Capsule tag_draw dot.gh (7.9 KB)

Oh wao, this is great. Thank you for this. :smile:

If you want full control over size and color also in layouts, I’d suggest to set up an annotation style with the mask option set to capsule.

It is possible to change this script to work with multiple colors? I do need to color every dot with a different color. Also I do need to bake the result as surfaces for later printing. Thank you.

Hi @AndersDeleuran
Your script is fantastic, but I noticed one issue. When toggling “Draw preview for selected geometry only” , the dots don’t disappear, as expected.
